SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

...and that, along with elapsed time and boat speed,is how you know where you are.

What about that star? the one that looks

like it's moving?

that would mean nobody's seen it

since Moses brown was founded!

that's correct--though it was a little brighter back

then...

That's actually the

brow-mesons comet. it passes earth every 231

years.

My name is Mr. Brown, but you may call me moses.

who-?!Wha-??

What of it?if you think my name is

strange, you should look at your clothes!

moses

brown?!

No offense

intended, sir. it's

just...we're from a

school by that name!

I didn't know there was more than one...

There

isn't!

Just ours!

pray tell...

what is the date??

In providence!

October 17, 2014.

if these are schoolchildren, why aren't

they in class?

but we are in class!

Mr. moses, we are!We use math to deduce our position, and geography to fix it!

...and learning about how physics

makes our boat go!

we call it

'project-based

learning,' but the idea

has been around a

while...

...and i think i recall you

advocating the practical application

of knowledge yourself.

you call this

school? a sail

around the bay?

you should be learning mathematics, science, geography, literature...

...and those clouds reveal the thermal activity in the western part of the state...

i can see how you'd learn a lot out here.

We travel to all kinds of places!

Well, you're becoming adults. you should see a

bit of the world.

Oh, it's

not just

us...

Kids in every division go out into the world to learn first-hand...

lower schoolers hike part of the appalachian trail!

...and for 40 years, middle schoolers have been learning to depend on each other on team trips!

...and language teachers immerse students in the languages they study in places like-

Central falls!

québec!

-and spain!!

after all, if you wanna learn about rocks, there's no place like the rockies!

All right,

crew, take us

home!

and this is MB's new

sailing and marine education

center, where we can study the

unique ecology of

narragansett bay...

It's a long story, but there's a machine inside that makes it go. No horses

needed.Horses?

Where are the horses?

for the carriage.

It runs on garbage!

She's kidding. it runs on waste cooking oil from our

school cafeteria. Sort of like you might burn whale oil, releasing an

exothermic chain reaction of hydrocarbons to-

like i said, It runs on garbage.

astounding...and thrifty!

but part of the reason we

learn by doing is so we can apply what we know for the good

of others.

Unfortunately, yes.All this progress--and there is still

poverty??

...and raising money for schools in sidikho and Chebuyusi, Kenya, and then going there ourselves to help renovate the schools and teach younger children...

...like creating a music education program at the san miguel school in providence...

...and traveling to the dominican republic every spring to bring medical supplies and conduct wellness clinics.

it is a

quaker

school, you

know!

...like creating a music education program at the san miguel school in providence...

do all children learn

like you? that's why our goal is to increase scholarships by a million dollars a

year.

we wish...

it's..n-not...possible!

dr. glendinning, this is...moses brown. there was a

comet or something. cap'n casey can

explain it.

you mean the buildings?

in english, man!

What's he still

doing here??

it's about the three core

principles of a moses brown education...

like expert thinking, which is

learning to apply one's knowledge to a real

problem...

they're the result of MB believes, our

strategic vision for-

so, doctor, how long has my school

been like this?

i mean classes on sailboats, and in the

city streets.

ah yes. the students told me all about

project-based learning.

they travel to places like colorado, kenya, and spain to broaden their understanding?

Another principle is 'global awareness,' the idea that

students need to understand others' perspectives in our interconnected world. So we've started the trips

program, in which-

well, it's the teachers you should thank. because of their work, we've received a $50,000 grant to advance this kind of learning...

well, yes. and then there's 'ethical leadership,' in which we-

You focus on the testimonies of

community and stewardship. the children told me all

about it. you've accomplished a great

deal.

Dean Woodman '46 gave $5 million to create

the woodman community and performance center!

russ carpenter '59 gave

$3.6 million to create the Russell H. Carpenter '59

program in teaching excellence!

...through their innovations in project-based learning, we've advanced the field of education on the national stage, and inspired some of the biggest gifts in our school's history.

The parents of

the class of 2014 gave $1.94

million to advance mb believes!

and just as you and samuel slater

applied your knowledge to revolutionize

textile manufacturing, our students are thinking

like real-world experts, applying their own

knowledge to...

...create the perfect backpack

...build and program robots

...design wind-powered cars

...complex machines ...and energy-producing turbines!

these kids are

letting their lives

speak-loudly.

there's nowhere to sit..how can you worship like

this?

it's hard. that's why we're building a new community and performance center...

speaking of

which...would you join

us for some silence?

...with enough space for meeting for worship...

...and seats that retract, providing flexible space for exhibitions and social events...

...and professional-grade sound and lighting for the performing arts...

...while providing a centrally-located gathering space to bring our entire community together.

This will be our legacy, and our way of continuing yours.

so, you see, Moses...wha--??

moses brown, a friends school, exists to inspire the inner promise of each student and instill the utmost care for learning, people, and place.
